## Description

In Africa today, inherited conceptions of " honor" can obstruct democracy, inspire resistance to tyranny, and motivate the defense of dignity in the face of AIDS. This account of the role of " honor" in African history from the fourteenth century to the present argues that it is essential to understanding past and present African behavior.
